Breaking new ground for the industry, AstroAgency is collaborating with innovation and strategy consultants Optimat to deliver the space sector’s first formal sustainability roadmap.

Commissioned by Space Scotland’s Environmental Task Force and supported by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the roadmap will offer a comprehensive approach to achieving sustainability in and from space.

The roadmap will present  case studies and identify priority actions across the full breadth of the Scottish space sector – from government to academia and business.

Indeed, Scotland boasts major space sector capabilities and a full value chain offering. Adopting sustainable solutions across services, such as launch vehicles, and identifying opportunities to support sustainability in adjacent areas, like oceans and land preservation, will play a big part in reaching Net Zero.

AstroAgency’s founder and creative director, Daniel Smith, commented on the roadmap: “We want to leave no stone unturned. This is an important opportunity for Scotland to lead by example in developing the space sector of tomorrow, both on the ground and in orbit”.
